Alpine in a bit of a mess. Ollie Oakes' resignation feels pretty fair to presume to do with a forced driver change, TP in name only with Grim Reaper Flavio lurking in the shadows.
Great to see Colapinto back on the grid but 5 race deal is proper achieve or leave. Paul Aron next to hover around.
Oh my god another fucking twist in this all-timer of a semi. Unbelievable cinema.
What a Champions League tie. Gripping game of football.
Vertical, penetrative runs off the ball. This is football. Excellent Inter.
Liverpool fans unable to cope with the idea of better things is quite something. Not like they’ve not taken advantage to pillage clubs over the years.
Great move for Trent.
This weekend has felt like the real moment of Williams' revival and with that the racing of Alex Albon. Heard development on 2025 is over also so I'm sure a tail off may come towards the end but this team is here to start competing.
Crazy thing is, it's been so close to more points this season.
Robbed of a sprint 4th place, Alex Albon has had a wonderful GP. That Williams is legitimately the 5th best car on the grid and may well be closer to Ferrari than thought.
Could age badly, but Albon should have 5th on lock from here out.
I always feel the table ultimately shakes out and you come where you should be. Plenty of ifs, buts and maybes for Fulham this season but today and games against the likes of Villa highlight quality + strength in depth differences between us and others. Marco continues to squeeze more out of less.
Some of those sprint race penalties are an absolute joke when Max Verstappen was very blatantly over his grid spot for the start and was given nothing doing. Pathetic management from the FIA, one rule for some...
Fulham poor in their own regards. But even for a neutral you can’t enjoy that 45. Chess match but a dull watch.
Fulham continue to cry for a true orchestrator and creator. V passive on and off the ball.
0-0 half in reality.
It really is remarkable how consistently John McGinn is able to referee games. Horrid display from the ref.
Alex Albon’s Q2 lap that just couldn’t get into Q3 was quicker than Carlos Sainz’s 6th place qualifying lap.
Gutted for him after the mess of Bahrain and deleted track times. Real opportunity for both Williams to score points this weekend, car looks great.
Double points for Williams! After both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc disqualifications, Alex Albon moves up to 7th and Pierre Gasly's disqualification moves Charles Sainz to 10th. Unbelievable.
Back to back points for Albon and Williams, the undercut caused a bit of pain it feels but over the line.
Feel for Carlos, felt like he was just bobbing about on his own for the majority of that race.
Feels a valuable mini break pre-Suzuka now.
Sprint did raise some tire deg concerns for Williams for the race tomorrow, the format is absolutely a test of a drivers whispering of the tyres. China typically a two stop which is infinitely more interesting than one stop circuits.
Great to see Alex Albon put it in Q3 again - tough track for that Williams car and the RBs look sensational.
Not concerned about Carlos, such limited time in the car and so new to the team in terms of set up. Always about 2026, lets get to Europe before any question marks crop up.
at what point do we start blaming red bull for building a car that only one man can drive
We didn't get too much footage but what a superb result from Alex Albon and the team. A shame to lose Carlos early of course but Albon holding off Hamilton and then the strategy was spot on. The first in a great era for Williams Racing.
Never ever disrespect the name of Alex Albon (me included). Stuck in a shit box for years, he's plugged away, never dropped his head and alongside James Vowles and now Carlos Sainz, is helping to lead the development of Williams back into a serious operation. What a day.
Feels like we could pause the testing timer if there's a track wide power cut...
Alex Brundle sounds just like his dad, it's quite scary honestly
Really proud of that Fulham performance at Wolves last night. Not many in this league can make 5 changes and pick up 3 points, the fringe players came in and did a great job; Muniz the pick of the bunch with a strong centre forward display.
I'm sure Silva will ponder the 343 at Old Trafford.
Was a little unmoved by the Williams livery at F1 75 Live BUT it looks stunning out on track.
The car was ready and presentable early, bold title sponsor and big name new driver. 2026 car already in the wind tunnel - James Vowles' big throbbing brain is building something special.
I don’t want to just consume but I don’t know what to create 🤔 🧐
So single I didn't even know Valentine's Day was close
I imagine we may see some crypto related or wider financial services enter the game, that and perhaps tourism/airlines/travel. 11/20 are gambling firms this year - clubs go to the highest bidder, so expect a potential dip in sponsorship revenue. You hope clubs are already sourcing deals for 26/27.
A note in this that next season is the last year Premier League clubs will have gambling sponsors adorn the front of shirt. Whilst I suspect many will move to shirt sleeves or shorts sponsorships, I'm interested to see what industries enter an inflated sponsor market (SBOTOP pay £10m a year).
Went to the F1 exhibition in London today, pretty fucking sick if you like your racing.
No wonder it keeps getting extended to stay. Worth the ticket to see the chassis from Romain Grosjean’s 2020 Bahrain crash alone.
Antonee Robinson's creative production has been silly, tied the all time club record in the Premier League for assists in a season. Raul's effort to intercept and then finish the counter for the equaliser superb, and AP showed his dead ball quality for the winner. Lukic, Berge, Bassey superb.
